Three conferences the same week

Next week the JBoss conference is in Atlanta, EclipseCon is outside of San Francisco, and TheServerSide is in Las Vegas. If you are heading to one of those shows next week, feel free to create a page in the JavaPedia and post the link in the talkback here. Others can join you and help with your show coverage.

Brian Leonard points to a tutorial on Using NetBeans 4.0 to Jumpstart your eBay Development in today's Weblogs . "Just recently, eBay released their SDK for Java. In this tutorial, I show you how to automate you interaction with eBay using NetBeans 4.0."

Joshua Marinacci shares his Big news. I'm going West. Among other things, he is going to join the Swing team and writes "I will initially be doing a lot of bug fixing (yay) so no longer can be content to I just complain. Now I'll have to pony up and actually fix things. :) I have a lot of interesting ideas for new projects that I'll be sharing over the coming months. Many of them will hopefully take the form of new open source projects like JDIC and JDNC (and maybe even a JSR or two) so I hope you'll all join me in building some really cool technology."

In Also in Java Today , internationalization is the challenging process of making an application run correctly in any locale, a process that breaks down into three tasks: handling localized text; handling date, time, currency, sorting, and so on, in accordance with local customs; and presenting text in the local language. Internationalization, Part 1, an excerpt from David Flanagan's Java Examples in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition, addresses the first two of these three steps.

Chet Haase has written an article on VolatileBufferedToolkitImage Strategies. He answers the common developer questions "about which image type or creation method to use. When exactly should you use VolatileImage? What is BufferedImage appropriate for? What about the old Toolkit images? And when is BufferStrategy more appropriate than one of these image types?"

In Projects and Communities, The JCP is running a story on the JCP EC Members from Apache Software, Borland, Nortel Networks, Google, Jboss Intel, NTT DoCoMo, Samsung, Research in Motion, Intel and Orange France.

You can now download the NetBeans IDE 4.1 Beta with over 15 new modules for developing J2EE 1.4 applications including support for developing J2EE EJBs and Web Services.

Sandoz responds on the thread Re: Binary XML vs Binary Data in XML... in today's Forums. "The Web services model tends to be more flexible (or loosely-coupled) for transport, asynchrony, intermediaries and protocol (extensions to SOAP e.g. reliable messaging and security). In addition i would further add that the encoding of the information that is transmitted can also be a choice dependent on how loosely-coupled you want to be. FI represents an alternative encoding but still allows for loose-coupling and re-use of all the other Web services concepts (WSDL, XSD, BPEL, XSLT, Security and Encryption)."

Jimothy clarifies an answer on the thread discussing Extra information in ClassCastException. In 1.3, it did include the actual type, but it seems to have disappeared in 1.4. From the message above, it looks like it returned in 1.5.
